NOW PLAYING

Progressive Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens (D) took the Michigan Senate primary down to nearly a deadlock, but El-Sayed came out ahead when the race was called Wednesday morning by Decision Desk HQ.

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) early Wednesday opted to end his reelection campaign in the wake of a House Ethics Committee report recommending his censure.

President Trump is on the West Coast, with an event in Las Vegas on Wednesday afternoon before returning to the White House.

As he was leaving Los Angeles for Vegas on Tuesday night, he remarked that Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, was “totally wrong” in her decision to move to drop charges for purported vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He said he hasn’t yet decided if she’ll keep her job. Potential legal ramifications now loom in the case.
